Reminders for the Field Trip

If you are a driver, please bring a cooler with an ice pack or ziplock bag with ice so the students that are riding with you can keep their lunches cool.


Wear Field Day tshirts with pants or shorts and T-shoes ONLY.  I went with my 4 yr old on Monday and we had problems with insects biting her so if you would like to spray their arms and legs before they come to school, that would be great. Also you may want to put sunscreen on them as well.

We will leave between 8:00-8:15, please have them here at the school before 8:00.

Check under the field trip tab for more info!!

Grade Papers
On one of the graded papers, I wrote "no book" that meant they took the test without the decodable. They will beging not using their books to find their answers.

Wear pink tomorrow!!!
